– Kovacevic didn’t get a penalty (they miss out on a 5 minute powerplay)
– Kovacevic stayed in the game and was Slovenia’s best defenceman
– Slovakia lose one of their more dependable players for that game and the tournament
– Kovacevic gets a rest for one game (they were always going to lose to the US)

They should consider in-game review for major penalties and toss players at the intermission. That was a brutal elbow.
